[Demona just came back from a mission, so she is tired. But happy. Actually, very happy. And is currently at hers and Londo's apartment, surprise surprise.]

I see things are about to get exciting. Good. I was starting to get bored. [Londo, get ready~]

badcop

[There’s an awful, electronic sound that grates across the network, something like a cross between static, feedback and a dying dial up modem. Barricade's curious if the right people are listening when he connects to the network, and the whole thing lasts all of four seconds before ending. About ten minutes later, an anonymous text message appears.]

Your glorious machine BREW has something of a glitch. In my world we sought to destroy and enslave the pathetic human race. Why would it assume I had any reason to fight for it now? And don’t answer ‘because it’s the only way to get home’, because that’s a load of slag.

feelsgoodinyou

[fail-filtered to Shibusen // accidentally very public]

Hey,
So, I’m having this problem. There’s this guy from my world who keeps attacking me; he punched me, tossed me to the ground, tried to put a pair of scissors into my face and he also keeps telling people bad things about me which didn’t happen the way he puts them.
I can’t really do anything about it because he’s really good at making people think that he’s a good person who’d never do anything like that, so it’ll always be me who’s the culprit.
Any ideas how to deal with this guy?

tembleques

[since there seems no way around it, he will contribute to the onslaught of newcomers on the network. he's not very keen of this communication system, but being on the loop of things is better than living the life of the secluded and sitting on his hands. kanda is also not here to make friends, nor to seem polite. (it's not his fault if people take it personally!)]

So we are in the middle of a war and yet it seems that there is plenty of time for domestic charades.

[and considering his pathetic drunken state upon first arrival, he... sort of missed out on some details about their stay in death city.]

I've lost something. Who do I have to bother to get it back, or is it part of this joke of a city?

guilds

[ When idle, her mind would naturally wander to home and concerns or vague considerations revolving around Fiore of the guild, and today was no different. And, well, it’d be a lie to say she wasn’t mildly curious. Carefully, transferring the message over to text, she begins to type, a watchful finger for each key. ]

I’ve noticed that not many of you seem accustomed with the concept of a “guild,” but “magic” is different, right? Which brings me to my next question! ☆ What was magic like back in your world? Was it something commonplace? Reserved for certain types of people? I guess, you could say that I have time to spare and I’m really curious! I’ll be waiting for your replies--! ☆

proudambassador

[He's seated at his table. There's a full wineglass next to him, and a bottle beside that. He seems in a rather pleasant mood, but that might be because of the wine.]

How many of us are there, hm? Not the Centauri, I am the only Centauri.

[He's also had a bit to drink, so he's not making his point well.]

The others. The ones who are not human, yes? There are many of us? Or only a few? I cannot tell.

And I cannot tell how many are human and from worlds where they know of aliens. Sometimes, it seems like a very small number. But there are some, yes? Not all of the humans are oblivious, surely.

It is strange, to have so few who know the stars.

[Londo chuckles.]

And here I am thinking of them, but it is rose-water nostalgia, as you humans say. For all of their beauty, there is much that goes on among the stars that is not to be enjoyed.

[Now he grins widely, looking at the screen.]

Oh, and if my good, esteemed G'kar is watching... I have a partner. You, I am betting, do not. Good luck with that, yes? You will need it. Or perhaps I should say your partner will need all the luck in the universe, and all of the patience, dealing with you.

saleh

It's been so peaceful as of lately, it almost makes me miss Callegea. This so-called war we are supposedly fighting is no fun compared to the one back there. What kind of war is this anyway, if people even get time to relax at a pool party?

[A soft thud can be heard as he flops unceremoniously on the bed. Heaving a sigh, he continues in a bored drawl.]

Isaac, if you're listening to me, I'm coming over in a few minutes. I'm afraid I need your assistance again.

ioudas

Apparently this guy Einstein was a great thinker and when he had blocks, apparently he'd do or think something else. So, where we go:

1.) Would getting a holster for your partner when you're in weapon form be too forward or not forward enough? Strapped in leather and close to her hip isn't that forward is it? Or is the most awkward thing about all of this the fact that there is no grammatically correct way to phrase that sentence?

2.) Give me names for a group of people doing science for the greater good or something. So far Cross' minions is actually starting to sound good.

Lets go, I'm not going to outthink this problem without your help or whatever.

(ooc: If you want more information about the science people things and if your character wants to join and if you guys would please fill out the proposal spreadsheet, I'd really appreciate it! Thank you in advance! )

clawsomekitty

[It's a free view of Death City... from the top of Shibusen. Literally one of the tall spires has a figure on it right now.]

Mew know, the view up here is paws-itively delightful. Nowhere near the height as some of the skyscrapers back home though.

[Camera flip and there's a wide fanged grin. Definitely a catgirl, but it isn't Death City's residential one.]

I don't think I'm allowed to be up here, but that's all part of the fun, am I right? Hehe. Oh yeah, thanks fur all the grub and stuff Shibusen, but I don't know about this war. I kinda had my own thing going on; not a-mew-sing to be dragged away in the middle of it. I'll hang around though. Who knows; purr-haps I'll change my mind.

[She gives a mock salute before turning the feed off.]

scribes

Disconcerting as it may be to have b33n spirited away from my home, I must admit that this place I'm not terribly opposed to it, even with the given circumstances. To those who are now to be my fellow...recruits, I suppose, allow me to extend my gr33tings. I go by the name of Disciple and I hope that we may work well alongside each other, and perhaps have an agr33able relationship outside of work as well. A special thanks to all those who helped me when I first arrived: Naoto, Kid, Gamz33 and Maka.

I do f33l the n33d to say that my voice appears rather weak as of this moment, and so I do hope that any silence from me in person will not be taken offensively. For all I know it could be lost to me entirely. If there is anyone out there who knows sign language, I'd be very eager to learn from you.

I have come to learn that many of you are what would be called human. In my own world, your kind does not exist so I find myself rather curious about you all--or even those, who like me are not part of this species. It s33ms that we all come from very different places, and so I ask those who would be willing to share what their homes are like. It is not every day one gets such an opportunity to learn of others.

((ooc; given Disciple's state voice or video would be pretty pointless, but if you dislike her quirk let me know and I will type in plain text in response :3)

wewillbefree

[G'kar is standing in front of the camera, looking dead at it. His brow furrows, he concentrates...and turns into a thick, old, leather-bound tome. Which, naturally, falls to the ground immediately. After a second he reverts, and then stands back up.]

Did you see?

[The sequence repeats itself. He turns into a book, falls to the ground, reverts, and then picks himself back up. He seems oddly excited about this.]

It's a book, isn't it? My...'weapon' form, I'm certain it's a book. But I can't figure out how to get a good look at myself when I'm transformed! What kind of book is it? What does it look like? Please, tell me, you have no idea what this might mean for me!

[He does it again, for another example.]

attentionwenches

[From the looks of it, Loki is at the top of Shibusen's stairs. He's sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of the propped-up mirror, and there is an empty DeathRobbins cup sitting next to him at the edge of the shot.

The Madness wavelength really shook him. He's spent most of today thinking about Things, totally blowing off his job to wander around the park and climb up to the top of the city. Loki is visibly subdued, far from his usual chipper self. Although the ice cream did help a little. He'd heard it might.]

People of Death City...will you tell me of your families?

lawfullystupid

[Oh look, it's a kitchen! It's filled with steam and there are various ingredients carefully stacked all over. Flynn is off to the side in casual clothing and an... apron.]

I've been thinking. There are a much larger array of Weapon types here then what I'm used to back home. In order to be most effective maybe I should learn a few more fighting styles? I have been curious about all the firearms...

[Something slithers out of the boiling pot on the stove, and in a flash Flynn whips around and smacks it with a spoon until it retreats. Then back to the DEMISE all smiles]

I wonder how difficult it could be. I mean, they can't be too different from a crossbow, right?

daddyscythe

[Here is Spirit, back home at last. He's scratching his head and rifling through a pile of papers as the feed comes up -- he'd clearly just left it to boot and then went to do other things while waiting. And then he notices that the light flashing has changed, so he looks over.]

[Immediately, there is a sheepish smile.]

Hello, everyone! I'd just like to announce that there will be a fieldtrip to the outskirts of Nevada four days from now. [holds up two fingers per hand] This isn't an ordinary fieldtrip, however, because the point of the trip is to expose ourselves to Madness.

You guys are usually exposed to Madness in the middle of missions and trips, so it'll be a good idea to be able to practice tuning it out in a non-hazardous environment. Like the middle of a desert with escorts and everything. [By which he means themselves, of course] Several of you and our own people have brought up the possibility before, and now we get to do it!

[Heeeh. Details, details... Spirit is reading from a post it at this point.] Just so you know, we've picked a location with varied Madness readings for the purpose. Parts of the place will be safe...r zones, while there are some areas that will be heavy on Madness. We'll be bringing some of our own agents with Calming Wavelength for safety, and a mirror will be set up leading back to the clinic, in case that'll be needed.

Uuuh, what else... Try to have a buddy or two for the practice, so we run into less problems. It's a good time to practice resonance since that helps fight out Madness a lot -- apart from your partner, see who else works well with you for tuning it out! In emergency situations, you'll want to know these things. Meeting time is at ten in the morning, in the lobby of the academy. [Yes, up those stairs.]

proudambassador

[Londo is a quarter of the way up the thousand steps and glaring hard enough to kill.]

Ridiculous.

[He's pretty close to out of breath.]

Entirely ridiculous! Ludicrous! I have had enough! I would hope, by now, that many would be with me, hm? This many stairs? No lift?

I propose a petition. They add lifts to places with stairs. The buildings, some of them have lifts, but this is what needs it! Here! We need a lift, here, and we need it, as the humans say, yesterday.

Who agrees? Who is, so to speak, with me?

[He turns and starts to head back down, shutting off the feed on the way.]

threefourtime

This city doesn't offer much in way of entertainment, does it?

[He smiled at the communicator with his chin resting on his hand and his body leaning to one side. Even dressed in casual clothes, Waltz's body language betrayed his aristocratic roots. Not that he was even trying to hide it at all, not with the way he was sitting in his arm chair much like he would have sat on the throne of Forte.]

Those missions sound interesting though. I don't suppose anyone would be willing to take on one with me? I'm a Weapon, more specifically a rapier. If anyone wanted to try this, ah, resonating business, I wouldn't be adverse to it.

ioudas

Seems now a good a time as any considering that when we're not bombarded with hallucinogens we have a serial killer on the loose. As fun as Jack the Ripper was, this is kind of old and for some odd reason people seem not to question why we don't ever leave the city except for missions, we're stuck dealing with it.

What if I told you that there could be a way for us to autonomously deal with threats that happened here in Death City? What if we could gather a bunch of people who wanted to share information from their home worlds, whether they be scientists, engineers or those who don't want to put in the effort when something like this happens (I wonder if you can guess which one I am).

What I mean is this: what if there was a collaborative environment where people who wanted to share knowledge could work on furthering the goal of protecting people during an invasion as we've seen previously. What if we could have sentries posted on the outskirts of the city that could not only inform us when there was an invasion coming but also protect us from covert operations? This organization would not have a head like the Watch, because lets be honest I am not going to go through all the effort that Roy does.

I want to know what thinkers we have here and if they want to join. Some of you were told to contact me but sadly some more pressing matters took precedence. This is an opportunity for those who do want to contribute but haven't been blessed with battle prowness and intellect like me. If you want to build and you can build, join. If you want to work on antitoxins, join.

I, for one are absolutely tired of the Witches coming to us. It's time that we go on the offense and finally end this stupid war because really, it's getting to be a real inconvenience in my love life.

This is the best way to get a hold of me if you want to join. Once again, it's open to everyone and I encourage people to contact me over it (a shocker, I know but this is how much I just want to be able to nap without something happening).

Oh, before I forget: Allen Walker, a word.

(ooc: more information! also feel free to name it something better than the science watch- in fact, please do.)

anationisnothing

I'm sure you've all seen the headlines by now. There's a killer on the loose, and he may have claimed up to four victims. Everyone should take precautions until we catch him: Don't travel alone, avoid isolated areas of the city, and stay indoors at night if at all possible.

If anyone has any information you think may be pertinent to the case, please come forward with it, even if you don't think it's important, or you're worried about getting someone in trouble. Even the smallest morsel of information can cause a break in a case like this, and the most important thing right now is finding and putting a stop to the killer before he takes another life. If you know anything, please let myself or any other member of the Watch know.

Finally, since three of the victims were suspects in a criminal case, it's possible that these murders may be an act of vigilante justice. If that is the case, and the perpetrator is listening now, I ask you: please turn yourself in. I understand your feelings, but even criminals are entitled to a fair trial and the rule of law. What you're doing isn't justice. It's murder, plain and simple, and it has to stop.

Captain America out.

rebellious

[ The feed seems to be, quite unfortunately, firmly fixated on what looks to be a rather worn and dog-eared lapel and maybe a bit of a chin. He still hasn't quite mastered the fine art of proper SC use. ]

Should anyone come across two siblings among the new arrivals, I ask that you inform me immediately. One of these brothers possesses height greater than most; the other, a unique orneriness.

I thank you for your time.

[ Wait... oh, that's right. Ahem. ]

Might I also add: should any unpartnered Meisters have need of a firearm-based Weapon, do not hesitate to contact me. I would join in this effort however I can.

mellowswithage

[The feed treats viewers to a full-screen shot of a mutant turtle's face, bedecked in a red bandanna facemask, a beaten-up hat with the words 'Turtle Island' inscribed on it, and a patch stretched over his left eye. The turtle doesn't look happy.]

Alright, so, name's Raphael. Obviously, I'm here to help out in this 'war' going on. Sure, yeah, I'm doing it to get home, but what I've heard also means it's the right thing to do. Wouldn't be the first time I helped out in savin' the world, probably won't be the last.

[He looks off to the side for a moment, then takes a deep breath.]

I s'pose there's no other mutants here, especially not other mutant turtles, judgin' by the way people've looked at me. Don't know if that's good or bad, but I guess it means my brothers aren't here, so I won't bother wastin' anyone's time by asking about 'em.

That's... that's all I've got in the way of introductions, really. I guess you all can ask me questions if you want. Maybe you'll even get answers. [He lets a smirk slip out.] No promises, though.
